Between formic acid and acetic acid which is stronger acid and why?
The Formic acid is more acidic than acetic acid.
This is because the methyl group is an electron releasing group (+I effect). It displaces the electrons towards the carbon chain. As a result, electron density on the oxygen atom of O-H bond increases. Therefore, the release of H+ ion become difficult, so acidic character decreases.
